Puerto Rican NYC is the Puerto Rican Day Parade, Three Kings Day, Bomba, Plena, Salsa, Latin Jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggaeton, Hamilton, journalists, politicians & more.
We are one of the communities that defines New York City. We have been been part of the U.S.A. since 1898, and American citizens for over 100 years. It’s changing now, but the Great Migration of the 1950s made us NYC’s biggest Latin community. As trailblazers, we opened doors for other Latin communities to follow.
New York Latin Culture Magazine is produced from the road – currently Santurce, PR. Somos bomberos, pleneros y salseros: Boricua orgulloso! 🇵🇷

#AdalWasHere
To our Padrino Borinqueño, the Nuyorican surrealist photographer and first Puerto Rican on the moon, Adál Maldonado. [Adál taught legendary NYC photographer Robert Mapplethorpe to develop and print.]:
Adál, we haven’t stopped laughing since we met you at that bookstore in Santurce. Your “El Puerto Rican Passport” made us citizens, and you introduced us to la cultura Borinqueña.
You got us laughing in Spanglish, then you disappeared. But we know you’ve been kidnapped by aliens again, and are using “alien technology” to plante la bandera bonita all across the universe.
We smile every time we see the beautiful flag because we know you’ve been around. Gracias Padrino. robertoparadise.com #AdalWasHere 🇵🇷
